EMPOWERING, UPLIFTING, EPIC! - I haven't heard an album as conscious, aware, and penetrating since The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. For me, Distant Relatives is a gem of great worth and beauty. Socially and soulfully provocative, the lyrics inspire action and change in Africa and the Black Community. Each track features either a killer beat, soul-pleasing instrumentation, and/ or the fusion of African-American, Afro-Caribbean, and African music. The album concept was also well thought and thoroughly developed. (Click here for the JUICY details, video interviews and more!)Tuesday, May 25, 2010

Alicia Keys - Unthinkable
This video is stellar -- very unexpected -- offers a totally new perspective to the song. And I LOVE it! Enough said:
Plus, I've been wanting Drake to drop a verse on this track, and FINALLY!!!! The official remix!
Stepping out from the background into the spotlight, Drake makes this incredibly infectious (in a great way of course) song even better:
And here's the behind-the-scenes stuff (I love seeing what goes on behind the scenes, so cool that she shared this!):
Finally, Drake speaks about his experience working with the ultra-talented Alicia Keys. I had no idea he wrote the song, I like him more now! The story is very interesting (I want a recording session with Alicia now!):
